Is your brain organized in a similar way than mine? #Bipolar

I think that if I could organize my thoughts correctly, my mind ... I could cure bipolarity. If I could solve this puzzle I could maybe see everything more clearly #ChangeMentalHealth

Can choosing Compassionate vs Reactionary responses with children help lower the amount of children affected by mental illness?

I know that a lot of us grew up in strict households. There wasn’t no stepping out of line and we were taught to keep our feelings inside. The values and beliefs were much more conservative. Would there be as many of us using the Mighty app if we weren’t taught that sharing feelings was dirty? Given real world consequence instead of a switch to the bottom for making a bad choice? That was the way our parents were taught to be, and they did the best they knew how to. But what if we had been given a little respect? We require respect from children. It’s only fair to show them respect as well. #compassion #Respect #ChangeMentalHealth

I’m 24 today. An age I didn’t think I’d see with how bad I’ve been lately with my mental health. I was always terrified to grow up as a kid. Terrified to see another birthday as I got older. I spent last year alone in my room, and this year is no different. I’m mentally exhausted. And physically tired. One thing I’m happy about though recently. I did what I pledged to do. I talked about the Five Signs with my friends. We agreed to reach out to one another and to our families and friends. We shared our experiences and our stories about mental health and just life in general. It’s these conversations that will make a difference to someone’s life. Even just reaching out to someone to ask how they are makes a difference. It shows you’re willing to listen. Or that you at least care about them and how they are. I’m sitting here today with several self harm scars. Some recent. Without my friends reaching out to me and being there for me, I don’t know what state I would be in today. I want to serve as an example, or at least, show that things can be okay. Some days may be better than others and some may be worse than others. The main thing is that we try and walk through that storm. And I’ll walk through it with anyone who needs that support. I’ll hold that umbrella over you when you need it most. #MentalHealth #Anxiety #Depression #ChangeMentalHealth #IAmTheChange #FiveSigns

I’m gonna be talking about mental health with some friends. I’m gonna tell them about the Five Signs of Emotional Suffering. Mental health is something that needs to be talked about. And I want to start that conversation with my friends. #MentalHealthAwareness #MentalHealth
